1. 0:00after disaster your cooking options are
2. 0:02considerably diminished you want food
3. 0:04which is nutritious and easy to prepare
4. 0:06recipes that only require heating water
5. 0:09the best as they will conserve resources
6. 0:11and reduce cooking time in this video
7. 0:13I'm going to show you how to make four
8. 0:14different meals that you can store in
9. 0:16mason jars whether you need them after a
10. 0:18disaster or for the Emergency of not
11. 0:20having the time to get to the store you
12. 0:22can simply grab them and prepare them in
13. 0:24the same time it takes to boil water
14. 0:26always have a few of these pre-made
15. 0:28mason jar Mills rotating through your
16. 0:29prepping supplies so you can eat them on
17. 0:32a regular basis or grab them if you're
18. 0:34bugging out
19. 0:35taco chili soup this is a filling soup
20. 0:38or stew that can be served in a bowl or
21. 0:39Cup in this recipe I'm going to use
22. 0:41texturized vegetable protein which is
23. 0:43made from soy you can use freeze-dried
24. 0:46ground beef crumbles if you have access
25. 0:47to those but they can be very expensive
26. 0:49the combination of carbohydrates and
27. 0:51protein in this Mill makes it excellent
28. 0:53to keep you feeling full after disaster
29. 0:55or On Any Given Taco Tuesday what I like
30. 0:59about this Mill too is that you don't
31. 1:00have to make a whole pot and it can
32. 1:02either be a soup or a chili try just
33. 1:05hydrating one cup of dry mix and one cup
34. 1:07of boiling water to start add more hot
35. 1:09water to get your desired consistency
36. 1:11because all ingredients are pre-mixed
37. 1:13you can ration it out after disaster
38. 1:16ingredients 1 cup texturized vegetable
39. 1:19protein or TVP
40. 1:20vegetable mix two cans of chili beans 1
41. 1:23medium onion two diced bell peppers one
42. 1:26canned corn one can green chilies which
43. 1:29is optional three tablespoons or to your
44. 1:31personal taste of taco seasoning one
45. 1:33teaspoon of salt 1 3 cup tomato powder 2
46. 1:36corn tortillas you can make many more
47. 1:38than two oxygen absorbers or vacuum
48. 1:41sealer and Mason jars preparation minced
49. 1:45onion and bell peppers I microwave this
50. 1:47for one minute and then strain it with a
51. 1:49wire mesh strainer to reduce the
52. 1:50moisture level since we'll be
53. 1:52dehydrating it I dehydrate these
54. 1:54separately from the beans chilies and
55. 1:56corn and combine them after drying them
56. 1:58since the drying times will be different
57. 1:59place the strained vegetable mix on
58. 2:01paper towels and place it in your
59. 2:03dehydrator combine drink corn beans and
60. 2:06chilies lightly rinse and mix you'll
61. 2:09need to dehydrate this as well so I
62. 2:10recommend large batches in preparing
63. 2:12over several days
64. 2:13chopped tortillas into 1 4 inch strips
65. 2:16that are two inch long I dehydrated
66. 2:18these on a simple wire Pizza screen on
67. 2:20the lowest setting of my oven
68. 2:21dehydrating
69. 2:23dehydrate all ingredients until
70. 2:24thoroughly dry
71. 2:26packing mix one cup TVP you could use
72. 2:29freeze-dried ground beef here if you
73. 2:31have soy allergies but it's more costly
74. 2:33to do this vegetable mix taco seasoning
75. 2:36salt and tomato powder in a bowl mix
76. 2:39ingredients well then place it in a jar
77. 2:41or two within an inch of the realm Place
78. 2:43tortilla strips in a baggie and place
79. 2:44them on top place an oxygen absorber in
80. 2:47the jar and seal it or use a vacuum
81. 2:49sealer
82. 2:50rehydrating and serving if making the
83. 2:52entire batch fill a large pot with eight
84. 2:55cups of water and bring it to boil add
85. 2:57dry ingredients except for tortilla
86. 2:59strips extinguish heat and allow to cook
87. 3:01and hydrate for 20 minutes stirring
88. 3:02slightly after 10 minutes until all
89. 3:04ingredients are hydrated and tender
90. 3:06serve with sprinkled tortilla strips on
91. 3:08the top
92. 3:09shown here I make a Cup's worth which
93. 3:11will require a cup to a cup and a half
94. 3:13of boiling water to rehydrate in about
95. 3:15five minutes this chili tastes like
96. 3:17vegan chili in many ways but it's a
97. 3:19great base to start with you can leave
98. 3:21out the added salt and use a beef
99. 3:23bouillon Cube or a meatier taste or
100. 3:25spice up considerably more to make it to
101. 3:27your preference
102. 3:28asparagus rice with hollandaise sauce
103. 3:31this filling but refreshing rice dish
104. 3:33isn't actually a salad but I'd call it
105. 3:35that because I think it tastes even
106. 3:37better when chilled and served cold you
107. 3:39can eat it warm or cold it's not your
108. 3:41typical rice salad and it's not your
109. 3:42typical asparagus but Hollandaise sauce
110. 3:44here I'm specifically using Minute Rice
111. 3:46if you use regular rice you're going to
112. 3:48need to add more water boil it longer
113. 3:50and let it sit for longer and your
114. 3:52finished product will be pastier
115. 3:54ingredients two bunches of asparagus
116. 3:57Spears either fresh or frozen one
117. 3:59Hollandaise sauce packets make sure to
118. 4:01select a brand that only requires water
119. 4:02to make the flavor will be milder but
120. 4:04you will not have access to butter or
121. 4:07other ingredients after disaster one and
122. 4:09one half cups Minute Rice two slices of
123. 4:11lemon 1 8 inch rounds that are a
124. 4:14quartered one small red onion 1
125. 4:16tablespoon Italian herb mix oxygen
126. 4:18absorbers or vacuum sealer and mason
127. 4:21jars preparation if using whole Spears
128. 4:24remove the tough end of the asparagus
129. 4:26spear usually the bottom two inches cut
130. 4:28asparagus into one inch pieces you can
131. 4:30simply start with a bag of frozen cut
132. 4:32asparagus and safe processing time in
133. 4:34the freeze-dried form they will look
134. 4:36indistinguishable from their fresh form
135. 4:38when cooked dehydrated however they will
136. 4:40get significantly smaller and will need
137. 4:42more time to rehydrate the flavors will
138. 4:44intensify in the dehydrated form and you
139. 4:46can get multiple Bunches of Spears in
140. 4:48your mix if you want a high asparagus
141. 4:49content and flavor profile
142. 4:51blanching and shocking blanch and
143. 4:54boiling water for six minutes this will
144. 4:56fix the color and lock in flavors remove
145. 4:58pieces to an ice bath to Halt the
146. 5:00cooking process when pieces of cool
147. 5:02place them in a strainer to allow them
148. 5:04to drain fully dehydrating arrange
149. 5:07asparagus pieces on dehydrator trees
150. 5:09finely chop one small red onion and
151. 5:11dehydrate on screens paper towels or
152. 5:13parchment paper cut 2 and 1 8 inch thin
153. 5:16slices of the lemon quarter those rounds
154. 5:18then dehydrate dehydrate for 14 hours or
155. 5:21until thoroughly dehydrated
156. 5:23packing place one Hollandaise sauce
157. 5:26packet in the jar place the hydrated
158. 5:28asparagus in jars Place Red Onion eight
159. 5:31lemon pieces then Italian herbs and rice
160. 5:33on top place an oxygen absorber in a jar
161. 5:36and seal it or use a vacuum sealer
162. 5:39rehydrating and serving to make this mix
163. 5:42the hollandaise pack of three cups of
164. 5:43water and bring it to a boil empty the
165. 5:46remaining contents of the jar into
166. 5:47boiling water and continue on high heat
167. 5:50for one minute until well mixed
168. 5:52extinguish the heat source and cover the
169. 5:54pot allow 10 minutes for ingredients to
170. 5:57fully hydrate then stir and return the
171. 5:59lid for an additional 5 minutes serve
172. 6:01warm or cold
173. 6:03broccoli and cheese
174. 6:04because we are using dehydrated instead
175. 6:06of freeze-dried broccoli the broccoli
176. 6:08will have slightly more intense flavors
177. 6:10when rehydrated consider cracked black
178. 6:12pepper and bits of bacon to accentuate
179. 6:14the intense flavors as additions if
180. 6:16those are available
181. 6:17ingredients 2 large heads of fresh
182. 6:20broccoli 1 cup cheese powder choose a
183. 6:23brand that only requires water oxygen
184. 6:25absorbers or vacuum sealer mason jars
185. 6:28preparation wash and thoroughly dry the
186. 6:31broccoli heads cut the broccoli into
187. 6:33small florets and slice a stem again if
188. 6:36you want to make the process easier you
189. 6:37can just simply use a bag of frozen
190. 6:39broccoli blanching and shocking bring a
191. 6:42large pot of water to boil add the
192. 6:44broccoli florets so the boiling water
193. 6:46and blanch for about three to four
194. 6:47minutes the broccoli should be slightly
195. 6:49tender but still crisp immediately
196. 6:51transfer the blanched broccoli to an ice
197. 6:54bath to Halt the cooking process leave
198. 6:56it in the ice bath for a few minutes
199. 6:57until it's completely cooled drain the
200. 6:59broccoli thoroughly in a strainer
201. 7:01dehydrating arrange the blanched and
202. 7:04drain broccoli florets on a dehydrator
203. 7:06trays in a single layer make sure
204. 7:08there's some space between the florets
205. 7:09for proper air circulation
206. 7:12dehydrate the broccoli for approximately
207. 7:138 to 12 hours or until it becomes crispy
208. 7:16and there's no moisture left here too a
209. 7:18freeze-dried version will give you a
210. 7:19better looking final product but the
211. 7:21taste is very similar with the
212. 7:23dehydrated version may be slightly more
213. 7:25intense packing for storage once a
214. 7:28broccoli is fully dehydrated and cooled
215. 7:29pack it in the mason jars where vacuum
216. 7:31sealed bags Place one cup of cheese
217. 7:33powder in a Ziploc baggie and place on
218. 7:35top add an oxygen absorber to each jar
219. 7:38or use a vacuum sealer seal the jars
220. 7:41rehydrating and serving to rehydrate the
221. 7:44broccoli simply pour a boiling hot water
222. 7:46over the dehydrated broccoli in a bowl
223. 7:48and let it sit for approximately 10
224. 7:49minutes with the lid on until it's plump
225. 7:52and tender strain the rehydrated
226. 7:53broccoli of excessive water in a
227. 7:56separate pan prepare the cheese sauce by
228. 7:58adding one cup water and gently warming
229. 8:00and stirring the mix add more water to
230. 8:02achieve the desired consistency but

236. 8:13throughout mac and cheese ingredients 3
237. 8:17cups elbow macaroni that will be six
238. 8:19cups when cooked two cups powdered
239. 8:22cheese one teaspoon of black pepper
240. 8:24packing for storage place macaroni in
241. 8:27the jar first place powdered cheese in
242. 8:29one ziplock baggie and pepper in another

253. 8:50this one is so simple I hesitated to
254. 8:52include it but the reason I like this
255. 8:54one is because I can control the
256. 8:55ingredients so many of us have boxes of
257. 8:57this stuff in our emergency pantries
258. 8:59because it keeps for so long and it's so
259. 9:00easy to make but if you ever read the

261. 9:04to eat on a regular basis that much
262. 9:05sodium ferrous sulfate sodium
